It can have however many x intercepts it wants,
<span>BUT, to be a function it must pass the vertical line test. </span>
<span>this means you have to look at the graph and see if a vertical line drawn anywhere hits the graph more than once. </span>
<span>if it hits it more than once, it is NOT a function.
</span>
An example is a polynomial function to the infinite degree. That is
f(x) = lim (n --> infinity) [ x^n]
but only 1 y intercept (vertical line test remember)
I am confused on what the question is.
The answer is four

Answer:
The average rate of change of the cost of a pack is 22 cents per year.
Another name for the average <em>rate of change</em> is <em>slope</em>.
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of the cost of a pack (
), in monetary units per year, is equal to the change in the average cost of a pack (
), in monetary units, divided by the change in time (
), in years. Then, the average rate of change is:


The average rate of change of the cost of a pack is 22 cents per year.
Another name for the average <em>rate of change</em> is <em>slope</em>.
